RCS

An extension to add basic SCM support for RCS. Experimental and RCS in particular is not recommended

It may also use larger than expected CPU when it first scans a directory. For this reason combined with not getting activation events to work right it's better to keep this disabled by default and only enable it for projects that use RCS

Features

• list files locked by the user
• list files locked by other users
• show changes as compared to the head.
• commit changes
• automatically prevent edits to locked files and offer to unlock them

Requirements

You must have the RCS commands installed, in particular ci, co, and rlog are all used

Why does this exist?

RCS is fairly ancient and in my searching I can't find much evidence of its continued use, so it's a fair question. I was forced into using it and was interested in learning more about building VS Code extensions. After using it off and on for a few months I decided to share.

This also means that it has bugs. Memory leaks are probably the simpliest example. I may go through in the future and streamline the code with an eye towards reducing bugs and reusing it for other SCM providers
